The Veterans Multi-Purpose Center
(VMPC), is unique. It was started by Veterans in
1989 out of a single desire to help and benefit
all Veterans and their families in
Florida. Since the granting of its IRS 501(c)(3)
Tax Exempt status in 1991, the Center has been
involved in a broad base of Veteran services.
The Center works closely with the VA and other
government agencies as well as the public and
private sectors to provide quality services and
benefits to Veterans throughout Florida. We are
proud that we are the only Veterans organization
in Florida with an IRS 501(c)(3) status
that:
»
Provides
professional referral and outreach services to
Veterans utilizing public, private, and
government organizations.
»
Owns and operates a
Mobile Veterans Center that travels throughout
the state and participates in community based
Veterans' events.
»
Funds food programs
for Indigent Veterans and their families.
»
Partnerships with
other non-profits for the sole purpose of
providing transitional housing for homeless
veterans.
»
Provides a
substance abuse and recovery program for
Veterans.
»
Doesn't have
special eligibility requirements for veterans to
receive services.
Our position is to work towards making a change
in the life of veterans who have suffered from
the trauma of war or any other duty-related
issue. Our goal is to provide veterans of all
ranks, backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses
with the services they need and deserve.
We recognize that substance abuse and alcoholism
is alarmingly prevalent among veterans. For this
reason we dedicate a good portion of our
programs and projects to those suffering from
the trauma of war (Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, PTSD) and those who may need ongoing
counseling and special assistance. |
